Interstate 40 (I-40) is a major east–west Interstate Highway running through the south-central portion of the United States. At a length of 2,556 miles, it is the third-longest Interstate Highway in the country, after I-90 and I-80. From west to east, it passes through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Its western end is at I-15 in Barstow, California, while its eastern end is at a concurrency of U.S. Route 117 (US 117) and North Carolina Highway 132 (NC 132) in Wilmington, North Carolina. Major cities served by the interstate include Flagstaff, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Amarillo, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville in Tennessee; and Asheville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Durham, Raleigh, and Wilmington in North Carolina.
Much of the western part of I-40, from Barstow to Oklahoma City, parallels or overlays the historic U.S. Route 66. East of Oklahoma City, the route generally parallels US 64 and US 70. I-40 was established by the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956; the numbering was subsequently approved on August 14, 1957, along with most of the rest of the system. The eastern terminus was initially planned to be located at I-85 in Greensboro, but the Federal Highway Administration later approved extending the route to its current eastern terminus in Wilmington. As a result, this was the last segment of I-40 to be completed upon its dedication in 1990.
The physical cache container IS at the posted coordinates!
This is a challenge cache and has special logging requirements. Please be sure to read the cache page thoroughly. Logs of finders not meeting the requirements will be deleted.
In order to log this challenge as a find, you will need to have found at least one Physical cache in every state that Interstate 40 runs through (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina). No "virtual" type caches will count for this challenge (so no Virtuals, Locationless, EarthCaches, etc).
The difficulty is based on the challenge and the terrain rating is based on the physcial cache location. Watch for muggles, and please replace as found. Actual D/T rating of the container is about a 1.5/1.5
Cachers may sign the cache's physical log at any time, however, the cache may be logged as found online only after the log is signed and the challenge has been met.
Mine are shown below. In 16 years of RVing we have traveled on every major highway system in the US and have visited all 50 States and DC.
